standing by the Soldier.

Circuit Judge McCallum, of Iowa, began
MS career at the bar Enthusiastically bis
first case was before justice Of marked NOR
aIity. who was extremely harsh with GRIMM
ais The weakness of the old Puritan was
his veneration for veterans of the war, all OF
whom he esteemed as unrewarded heroes.
McCaIIum had fought four years. His client
was a thief 'The only thing can 90 Ior
YOU" said McCallum, after having gained
the mans confidence, sis to implore the mercy
of the court. When you go on the stand tell
the whole truth"
The man had stolen a cow, killed it, sold
the hide, and taken the carcass home to his
family, which was really suffering for the
necessaries of life The prosecution, with
long line of witnesses had made out perfect
case and the brow of the justice was dfaPed
in ominous frowns when the prisoner was
called The latter did as directed by his at
torney, concealing nothing-from the almost
starving condition of his wife and falnlly 10
the dressing of the stolen beef.
s.Now, your honor" said MeCallum, 1.-THE
defense has no witnesses. My client Is
guilty. He has hidden nothing from this
court Tt is the first time he ever transgresSed
the laws He was inspired to do wrong by
that instinct which we even admire In brutes.
Then, turning to the prisoner, as If the fac5
had nearly escaped him, McCalluIn said: by
the way, you were a soldier in tSle late war,
were you nOt!"
Eyes, sir
weren't you at Gettysburgs"
eyes sir"
$50 was L And you were in other historic
battles, fighting for your country, while your
wife and family suffered from want at
home?"
Eyes, sir"
The prosecution at this point saw the way
the case was drifting and attempted to rldl-
Guile the cold soldier Defense" as the prosecut-
ing attorney named it,
The effect on the old il stice was to arous,
all his loyalty and Indignation Enough OF
this" said he, bringing lis land down on the
desk in front of him with a laundering thud.
"No soldier, no man who has shed his best
blood for his country, not even If he be
criminal, can be reviled in my presence. The
prisoner is discharged. And, sir, when you
are suffering for the necesSaries of life again
come to me-"
The joke was too good to keep. McCallum
told the justice one day that the old soldier
was an ex-Confederate, but never again did
McCallum practice in that court.-Chlcago

It is said that Maj Ben: Perley Poore,
the Washington correspondent, delights in
the use of the words of that dreadful old
man in David Copperfiell who repeated
over and over, "Oh, my eyes and limbs9
Oh, my lungs and Gverl Oh, goroo, goroo''
The other day the playful major saw
friend walking in front of him, so he stole
up quietly behind, jammed the friends hat
down over his eyes, grabbed him by the
throat and the hair, and shouted in his
deepest tones. ooh, my heart on fire? Oh,
my eyes and hmbsl Oh, my lungs and
iveri Oh, goroo, goroor' By this time
the victim managed to get away, and turned
ia g full of wrath and terror on the tickled
joker. 1t was face Maj. Poore had never
seen in his life, and the owner had never
seen Maj. Poore, who ma lie the best apollo
gies possible, and left the stranger ruminat-
ing upon the strang, characters one meets.

He Thought 1t Was an Optical DeIusion.
The story of the twins is the latest. A
father of twins was naturally very proud Of
them, and when they came to presentable
age he insisted on a friend calling to see them.
The friend agreed and named the day. The
twins were dressed in their best, put side by
side in an arm chair and awaited inspection.
Now, the friend had been lunching rather
heavily and drinking rather freely, and con-
sequently his vision was not as perfect as it
ought to have been. However, he went to
admire the twins, and was ushered into the
room where they were. "There," exclaimed
the proud father, did you ever see anything
to match that" The visitor, conscious of the
possibility of an optical delusion, quietly re-
piled: "Quite right; it's a splendid chld."-

Scientists are puzzled over the peculiar
effects of the moon on an Atlanta man.
s'He drinks a great deal of water during
moonlight nights, but during period of
dark nights he drinks no water at all.
There's nothing curious or scientific about
that. Moonlight nights his wife can see

Overhauling the Popular Conception.


1t was little hard ON DIR. Holmes that
one of the papers in his own Boston should
turn npon him for reserving his Harvard
poem to publish in The Atlantic and say
of him that 'there is a Yankee thrift
about this turning of poems for public
occasions into money which is hardly in
accordance with the popular conception Of
the pOeJical temperament" The state
ment may be true; we are afraid it is.
But the popular conception" needs
Overhauling. There is no good reason
why the poet should bestow the offspring
of his muse upon the public for nothing
any more than there is for the painters
doing the same with the fruit of his in
SEPARATION and toll. There has been-and
probably still is-a good deal of wrong
headedness on the part of the public in
this matter. 1t is only recently, if at all,
that the masses have become fully recon
eiled to the notion of a minister's taking
any thought about his salary; and his
changing pulpits in order to secure better
compensation is still regarded pretty gen.
orally as good subject for jocose allu
sions to Hcau with money in it, or to
the spreading of the gospel 'fwithout
money and without price, Yet the in
telligent admit when they give the sub
ject any serious consideration that the
minister is as worthy of his hire as any
other laborer. And why not the poet as
well?-Detroit Free Press.

Visit OF the Massachusetts Railroad
Commissioners.

The following gentlemen comprised a par
ty Of railroad men who tested the merits Of
the Sewall Car Heater Saturday last:
Messrs. G. G. Croker, f. A. Stevens and
L. w. Kfnsley, OF the Massachusetts, Rail-
way Commission j. +. Anderson. a. w.
Wildes and ID. n. Mortland, of the Maine
Commission General Manager Furber Of the

Manager, j. w. Marden, Superintendent oil

of Motive Power of the Boston 4 Provi-
dence; Il. w. knight, foreman Portland car
shops of the Maine Central, and Willard G..
Tyler, manager Eastern Department Of the
Railway Age Of Chicago. These gentle
men went to South Gardiner in a special
car provided by the Boston & Maine road
where they were joined ON to Conductor
Jewitts train, of the Maine Central, which
has the car heater attachment. Mr.. Jewett's
train left Bangor with three cars and took
on one at Waterville that was left the day
before. This car was out of doors from $50
a. M. Friday. until coupled on to the train a t
2.3o p. M Saturday without any heat being
given to it. AT 2,30 the thermometer in the car
stood at 80 degrees Fair, and was steadily
raised at the rate of 10 degrees in 20 minutes
with the train running at full speed. Before
reaching Augusta the car was very comfort
able. AT Augusta the train took another
cold car and heated 1t in a like manner. An
average temperature of 70 degrees was had
in each train:with no apparent diminution
of speed. The railroad party left for home
at p. m, much delighted with the heater,
especially as the merits were tested in a driv-
ing snow storm.

The New Elevator.
To the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press:
A propos Of the present movement by the
Board Of Trade, for the purpose of erecting
additional elevators in our city, the under
signed, plain citizen and neither a flour
merchant" or capitalist, desires to call the
attention of the people of Portland to the
stand the merchants of our city have taken
to the different enterprises that have been
undertaken here at various times.
Beginning at the "Oxford and Cumberland
Canal" and taking the Atlantic & st. Law
renee railroad" the various steamboat COM
panies, the horse railroad, the "P. d o." the
Up. & r." the Dry Dock, and in fact all the
principal business enterprises, you will find
that while all the merchants of our town
heartily approved the different measures,
they rarely subscribed to the stocks and
bonds, and the burden of the experiment was
borne by few
Now in regard to this elevator project, it
seems to me. that it would be novel and
striking plan for the flour merchants and
wholesale dealers to take hold of this matter
themselves, and to do for once, that which.
through their professed regard for Portland
they have almost always been willing for
others to do, unaided
AS to the accuracy of my statements in re-
lation to the subscriptions to the stocks and
bonds, a reference to the books of the COM
panies will quickly show the true state Of

The ordinary biscuit made with cream of
tartar, or any of the common brands of bak-
ing powder, will, when cold, be dry and
tasteless The ideal biscuit made with Prof.
Horsford's Bread Preparation, will, when
cold, be moist, sweet and delicious. Cream
of tartar leaves a tartrate of potash in the
bread, which is of no value to the system,
often acts as an irritant, and certainly, there
fore, cannot be healthful- Prof. Horsford's
Bread Preparation leaves phosphate in
the bread which has been proved by scien-
lists to be highly nutritious. Identically the
same phosphates are contained in meat, fish,
corn, rice, wheat and other cereals. These
phosphates exert salutary and health CIV
ing influence upon the animal economy, and
supply that for which there's constant de-
mand in the human system. The reverse OF
all this is true as regards cream Of tartar,
and all baking powders made Of cream Of
tartar; hence this true comparison of the ma.
ture of Horsford's Bread Preparation and
the results of its use, with those Of cream OF
tartar, should convince the most incredulous
of the value of the Bread Preparation, and
the utter uselessness of cream Of tartar as q
dietetic preparation.
Prof Horsford's Bread Preparation is fol-
sale by all dealers, and every package is
warranted.

woMAN's SUFFRAGE.
The Law as Regards women.

TO the Editor Of the Press:
Mrs. Caswell, in her letter published in
Wednesdays PRESS. speaks of the liberality
OF the law to women. | am aware the law
Is generous to onr sex, exceedingly SO. An
Instance of tie illustration Of this truth
came under my personal observation a few
years ago.
A young woman married, but never left
her fathers house. Three years after her
marriage, she died. During that time, she
had not spent $40 of her husbands money
for clothing. Her mother asked the husband
for some articles of clothing belonging to her
daughter. lie replied, everything is mine
the law gives me even the shoes she wore
when baby, ii / choose to take them"
l have heard of q case in Massachusetts
where woman made her will in favor of her
sister. She afterward married. A few
months after her marriage, she died The
husband claimed her property. Her sister
entered into litigation to gain possession of
til money willed her by her sister, and ac-
quired by that sister previously to her mar
rage. The case went against her, the law
gave all the property to the husband.
know that the untiring efforts of good
and pure women in Massachusetts who seek
to ameliorate the condition Of their sex, have
effected some changes, but that band of
noble workers have much to do yet.
have heard of case in PENNSYLVANIA
where the benefcent law threw its protecting
arms around mother A young woman. a
school teacher, married German. Shortly
after their marriage the husband fell ill. The
devoted wife worked to earn money to sup
| port him through an illness of several months
To repay her, the husband willed his unbern
child TO his family in Germany and died.
Soon after the birth Of the child member of
the husbands family took the infant from its
mother and carried it to Germany. The
mother had no redress; the law gave the
child to its dead fathers family.
Oh! what generous and humane law to
women!
The infrmities Of age are upon me, but /
nope TO live long enough to see the right of
the franchise extended to the women of
Maine, for l think the majority will feel the
sense OF responsibility resting upon them.
and realize that the right of suffrage involves
more than the simple casting of vote.

Saturday number of subscribers to the
Credit Foncier residing in this section re-
ceiyed private letter from Mr.. Owen, the
protector Of the colony, asking for an immc-
diate payment Of 80 per. cent. of the value Of
the stocks. He said that there is already "a
brave band of men and women" at Sinsloa,
and that the arrangements for last Novem-
Der were made on the basis Of the money
then on hand. 1t is to be remembered that
before reaching the land of promise, the
Maine colonists were intercepted by an
agent from Sinaloa. who asked them to con-
tribute to fund to buy provisions for them
selves. The colony has evidently failed, and
very little money will be sent from this sec
tion to Mr. Owen.
